Sorry if this is in the wrong place but could not figure it out. Anyways, before I purchased from @TCK Corals I was looking for reviews and could not find anything so here is a quick little review of my purchases from them.

I purchased a few frags during the after live sale, sale. The prices were below market value but felt like the frags were pretty small which I try to stay away from but decided to give it a shot. Package came in about 930am and was packaged perfectly. Each frag was in a soufflé cup inside a bag, which was inside another bag, which was inside another bag. (was not going to leak, lol. 2 out of three frags came in perfect, and one had fallen out of the cup and got banged around a little. To my surprise, the frag plugs were over sized (triple the small ones) so what I thought appeared to be small frags were actually good sized ones. Unfortunately the frag I was most excited about WWC Kung Pao montipora was the one that was banged up. Had a white spot on top of the frag where it was damaged. I did not contact them because the frag was still alive and healthy. (might have been a mistake) For the record It was clearly damaged in shipping as the frag looked amazing with just the point at the top with the damage. Its holding on right now, and hopefully recovers because that coral has been on my list for a while. Here are a couple pictures.

All and all the frags were good sized frags and appear to be really healthy. They were carefully packaged (I know I said one got damaged, but stuff happens) and overall I was impressed. Hope the monti pulls through.

Still in the frag rack but I will take some tonight and post
 
TKC and ARC are local to me. They have great frags and even better customer service. Love those guys. My guess is they would have helped you out if you had reached out to them! I'm fortunate to be soo close to them! I picked mine up saturday from the live sale as well!

Oh I am sure they would have, like I said stuff happens. Hopefully it does not STN and comes back fully. I hope I made it clear in my post that I did not contact them because it seemed so minor. It does look a little worse now, but It is what it is at this point.

I understood! Just wanted to add to the nice things you already had to say about them!
